My Brother was called to defend settlements

[KrazyHorse]

I hope he doesn't get hurt.

If I was an Israeli I'd gladly serve inside Israel proper as security, and would probably serve on raids against designated targets inside the Territories (though I disagree with this as a general strategy and see it as a road to continued failure), but I would not serve as point defense for settlements.

They could toss me in jail, but I wouldn't do it.

Atudaim who finished service, right? Not in the middle of the univ.

Between Simesters, as well. I was excempt this time, since I haven't passed basic training yet.

But guess what am I doing this summer.

Siro,

How does your brother feel about the settlements?

Bah!

Ah well, it's not that bad.

Being that he would be guarding illegally held territory, that would make him a legitimate military target...

If I were him, I would ask to be transferred somewhere else, unless he believes in what he's doing.

If he believes in what he's doing, he has to expect that someone will be trying to kill him...

Legitimate or illegitimate, the palestinians gladly kill anyone. They're bloodthirsty murderers.

Yeah, so?

You were talking about him being a legitimate military target. I simply said that such things aren't important to the pals. They kill anybody.

Whether or not Americans or anybody else is a bloodthirsty murderer doesn't matter. Palestinians are. Unless you want to refute what I said, shut your trap.

[Hueij]

Palestinians are.

Well, time for an Endlösung then. Got any suggestions?

Godwin's Law!!!!!!!!

Whether the settlements are illegal or not, enemy soldiers are always legitimate military targets in wartime. That's sort of the point.

[Arrian]

Blah, this thread is going to ****e.

I am actually interested in whether or not Siro's brother has any ethical/moral misgivings about his new assignment.

Correct.
